Greetings and salutations.
I?m a bit outta my element this week. Against my better judgment, I am passing in the Aces Gold NFL Handicapping contest. In other words, Bubblehead, Cobra, Flipper13 and Fatboy better stay the hell offa the following selections, ya hear me? As for the resta yuz? hey, knock yourselves out.
GB ?2? @ NYG 36
Green Bay is in a negative situation concerning road favs after week 4 coming off B2B SU wins with the last coming at home - now facing a non-DIV opponent offa SU loss. Ya got that? Anyway, it?s 32-11 vs the math, so pay attention.
NYG is in a positive situation involving teams that are 7-8 on the season coming off a SU loss with 9+ wins in the previous season that is 9-3 ATS.
If I was makin? official contest picks, this?d be one of ?em GIANTS +2?
DEN +2? @ IND 50?
Unbelievably, my numbers made this Denver ?4?, so natch, this?d be another Cow Pie BRONCOS +2?
AZ +3? @ WAS
Ya wanna know somethin?? I ain?t got time to go into a buncha reasons, ya follow? REDSKINS ?3?
CIN +5? @ TEN 37?
The Tigers is in a negative situation concerning teams coming off a SU win as a dog of 6 or more versus a DIV rival - now facing an opponent what?s under .500 and coming off a DIV game. A little wordy, but it?s 19-7 ATS if you fade the sucker TITANS ?5? BTW ? This?d be another Cow Pie.
DAL ?2? @ DET 36
I hate this game, but ya gotta love half of the Dallas nickname. COWboys ?2?
NE ?6? @ CAR 36
The Pants lose ?em close, usually. Plus I gotta a coupla angles what go against their opponent. To wit:
Fade road favorites after week 4 what are coming offa B2B SU wins with the last coming at home - now facing a non-DIV opponent offa SU loss (32-11 ATS).
Likewise, road favs of >5 pts coming off a home game and at better than .500 - now facing an opponent at less than .200. Fade ?em and you?re riding a 35-10 ATS trend. PANTHERS +6?. That?s pick number four.
SF ?2? @ NO 45?
The number is cheap, but the angles favor the home dog. Take your pick. Me? SAINTS +2?
JAX +5? @ CHI 33
Everything I got tells me to grab the points here, but a very special little lady asked me to back the Bears, so? BEARS ?5? There ya go, Mama!
CLE +6? @ PIT 34
This woulda been my fifth and final contest selection, if I woulda stayed true to myself, that is. STEELERS ?6?
ATL +14? @ STL 46?
The Rams are obviously the best team around. Acourse, the Oregon Ducks can?t seem to get a game with them, neither. RAMS ?14?
BUF +6? @ MIA 36
The swimming mammals are doing their usual late-season fold, but I?m givin? ?em a chance to cover this one. DOLPHINS ?6?
NYJ +4? @ OAK 41
The Cow Power digits make the line Pick ?em, but I got so many angles goin? the other way that it ain?t funny. RAIDERS ?4?
KC +3? @ SEA 40?
Sorry, that?s gotta be a misprint on the total. If it ain?t, play the OVER! Meanwhile, the Hawks oughtta be able to run ion this defense, and Dilfer has now won 14 starts in a row (or something like that). SEAHAWKS ?3?
PHI +3? @ TB 33
I ain?t gunna get into alla the coaching rumors, in fact, I ain?t getting into this game at all. We?ll bet this one next week, okay? PASS
MIN +10? @ BAL 37
Who knows what this game has in store? Certainly not me. I do have a side, however. VIKINGS +10? No reason, really, but Jack has been bein? a little too nice to me lately, so I thought I?d better piss him off. Sorry, boss.
Hold the phone! Here?s a reason: Baltimore is in a negative situation involving home favs of more than 3 pts coming off a SU road loss versus a non-DIV opponent - now facing a non-DIV opponent with a winning percentage of under .500 who is also off a SU loss. Whew! Hey, it?s 30-8 to the number!
I can?t keep my eyes open, fellas. I?m goin? to bed. Peace.
